I want you to hear the details of the wedding from Carol. But in the meantime, I know you are all eager to see the beautiful bride and GORGEOUS mother of the bride! The wedding was perfect in every way. The ceremony was at the water's edge . . . Christine and Erik flanked by a very good looking wedding party and lots of hydrangeas. The sun set over the beautiful tent, also by the water. And when night fell the sky was filled with a fabulous display of fireworks!
Your many, many prayers were heard . . . and answered! God gave Christine and Erik a lovely day, a beautiful sunset, a full moon over the water and a wedding to remember!

Thank you for the brief glimpse into the true joy of that day. We too, have been checking this blog in anticipation of a few photos or words about the day. The expressions on those faces say it all! :o)
ReplyDeleteCarol, you look absolutely beautiful, as we knew that you would. Christine -- well, just amazingly radiant. And Frank, you just never seem to change, ya handsome guy! It's just so awesome to see how unstressed all of you look. Thank you Lord for your almighty touch on this family and on their VERY blessed day. Praise be to Him! Love you all, J and J

Is there anything in ALL the world like a lovely wedding???!!! How gracious and good of our God to supply the beauty of the day, as well as the energy and strength for all those involved... especially for you, Carol! Those memories are priceless and I know you'll all savor each one of them!

What a beautiful day and a very special weekend! We all felt quite blessed to be sharing this joyous occasion. Can't wait for more photos.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Iknow, I know you're not supposed to comment on your own blog but I couldn't resist when I saw my west coast friends on tonight! I have to forewarn you..I just send a long, over-detailed MOM wedding day blog to Sally to post when she wakes up tomorrow. it is so over the top, but I couldn't resist just sharing, sharing, sharing! Howie, we have a zillion pictures that friends took, but I was thinking I would wait until Laura Thorpe puts her "real" photos up on her website. But I'm telling you...we have some great amateur photographers as friends. I sent a few to Sally that she will post...INCLUDING photos of SALLY our Rock Star! she is an early riser b/c she is so nicely disciplined about excercising each morning. she in my inspiration. although, I have to say I just met Andrew at the frig, both of us foraging for food. He took up some wedding food leftovers, I went straight for the ice cream/sorbet mixture! well, I'm off to bed. JH in the morning.
ReplyDeletelove!

Me again....I am such a dork, but one more thing! I just noticed...if you click on the photo of Christine above and make it big...see that lace hanky in her bouquet. My grandma, my mom, I, and now Christine all carried that same hanky in our wedding bouquets. ...tidbit!
ReplyDeletenow..good night!
love,
Carol
God's grace is sticking out all over the wedding reports. And His glory shines in the expressions on the faces of the Mother of the bride, the Father of the bride, and the Beautiful Bride herself. Thank you for sharing your praise to the Lord with us. It is an inspiration to all.
ReplyDeleteWith much love and many prayers...

Hi Carol, I've been away with some health issues and haven't been able to find your blog. I just catched up on all your wonderful news today. The wedding was beautiful, and what a blessing in the weather. God certainly listens to all of our prayers. You look wonderful in the photos and the beautiful bride and handsome groom look so happy. May God bless you and your family.
